3.1.2 Rationale

[Subject Text]
To ensure simplified handling and streamlining of tooling and competences in the software supply chain, both for suppliers and consumers of software, SBOM Documents shall employ a format generally recognized as the standard specification for SBOMs as standardized. By harmonizing the use of this standard SBOM Data Format in an organization's external interfaces, the reduction in complexity leads to fewer errors and, as a result, improves the document quality.

bda2abt: Of course a standardized standard specification has its advantages :) , but I would suggest to change the wording here: "...as the standard specification for SBOMs."

We agree that the current wording may imply a single SBOM standard specification. We will revise the text accordingly to use more neutral and accurate wording.
